Help me scratch the itch please

Hi folks

As much as I'm trying not to succumb, I want a CO2 replica pistol. It's going to be either a Webley Service, an Umarex Legends Luger (the WW2 battlefield finish with the brown grips), or a SAA Peacemaker. I think I've got those names right, I hope you know what I'm talking about!

If you could buy only one, which would it be? I know it's a personal thing, but am interested in your take.

Thanks a lot.

Hi. Webley mkVI, excellent replica, well made, iffy accuracy.
Umarex P08, excellent replica, some reliability issues, iffy accuracy (don't even consider the parabellum non blowback version).
Colt SAA, excellent replica, well made, excellent accuracy in bb or pellet version. Haven't heard a bad word said about the SAA.

Thanks Ade. Very helpful. I must admit my primary consideration is how good a replica it is! I'm not actually that fussed about how accurate it shoots, as sad as that sounds.

I think I am leaning towards the SAA...

My WW2 suggestion: The Battlefield Webley MK.VI. It is wonderful. You'd not regret it in either BB or pellet.

My Western suggestion is the Schofield. Again it is wonderful and you'd not regret it in either a BB or pellet.

The above two have the same mechanics and take the same cartridges. I have one of each, and both, as stated, are truly fantastic.

The Colt SAA Peacemaker is a good looking replica gun, but the loading/unloading system truly gets on my nerves after about half an hour.

The Dan Wesson 2.5" barrel BB revolver is the dogs danglies, too. however (got one of them as well), and is possibly my favourite? Hope this all helps?

It does indeed help, thanks a lot. I’d not even considered the Dan Wesson, but I’ve just had a look. I like it a lot...!

The KWC P08 is astonishingly good. A superb and accurate replica even down to field stripping. With good quality BB's it's capable of acceptably decent accuracy- as long as you do your bit

To be fair the SAA and MK VI are also very good in pellet guise. Another to look at, but more modern, are the KWC Tanfoglio competition pistols if you want to get involved in IPAS or IPSC practical shooting. If you want to stick with 'classics' then the Colt 1911A1 replica is very good indeed. Very well made and again can be quite accurate, the best thing is that it only refers to Colt on the slide. It's also easy to fit genuine walnut grips to it if you want.

I'm glad, you are welcome, and if you are only going to go for the one revolver (to start with, lol ), you'd not go far wrong with the Dan Wesson.
